Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Fair Go Casino Australia, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself viewing gaming as an income source, it's time to reassess your habits and seek support.
Age Verification
Online gaming in Australia is strictly for players aged 18 years and older. If you are under 18, you must not access or use gaming services. We take age verification seriously and encourage all users to comply with local Australian gaming laws and regulations.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognise these common warning signs that your gaming may be becoming problematic:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling for longer periods than intended
- Hiding gaming activity from family, friends, or partners
- Using gaming to escape stress, anxiety, or negative emotions
- Gambling with money needed for essentials (rent, bills, food)
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gaming
- Neglecting work, study, relationships, or hobbies due to gaming
- Feeling restless or irritable when unable to game
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gaming
- Lying about the time or money spent gaming
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Protective Measures
Most reputable online casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Cap the total amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
- Session Time Limits: Receive reminders or automatic disconnection after a set period of play
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up notifications during play to remind you how long you've been gaming and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing gaming services
Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gaming habits.
